than any OF them, pronounccs him "a true

so patty on the right note and with the
right accent that one can only wonder at
such premature intelligence. His
melody stands out in clear perspective, no

The astonishing number of widows
of soldiers of the war of 1912 who draw
pensions, has often been.referred to. 1t
has sometimes been thought that there
must be crooked work connected with
this pension business, as it was difficult
to account for it in any other way. At
a recent interstate historical meeting,
held in Bucks county, Major Frank A.
Butts, who holds position in the Pen
sion Office at Washington, in speaking
on this subject said:
1t is a matter that is often questioned
how there can still be SO many names
of widows of survivors of the war of
ISI2 on the pension rolls. The figures
upon more than one occasion have been
subjected to question, and | am here
reminded of a little circumstance which
will serve to prove that this widows roll
may be continued for some time to
come. Some months ago a veteran of
the war of 1872 addressed a letter to
his lawyer stating that, inasmuch as a
young lady had been very attentive to
him for some time, at his death he
would like to leave his pension to her,
and he asked the question if there were
not some legal way in which he could
make 1t over to her. In answering the
letter the attorney, of course, informed
him that there was no law to cover such
a case, but somewhat humorously sug-
gested that he might marry the young
lady, and then, as his widow, she
would be entitled to the benefit accru-
ing from his service as a soldier. About
:hree months later the lawyer was not
little surprised by letter from the
widow OF this same person. She was
young lady scarcely past her teens, and
if the fates should be kind to her, and
she should decline to remarry, she may
doubtless be a widow of the war of 1872
at some date in the twentieth century.
There are forty widows of Revolu-
tionary pensioners still living, and three
of these live in Pennsylvania-Eliza-
beth Betz, aged SO years Margaret
Mulligan and May Nj. Dlcky, all of
whom are paid at the Philadelphia PEN
sion Office.

SEVERAL Of the great Philadelphia
dailies, the Times included, are quite
hilarious over the fact that New Ier-
sey prohibi,ionist. who was recently bit
ten by a rattlesnake, resorted to whisky
as a means of cure. Evidently these
able editors think it is high privilege
to throw slurs at prohibition whenever
opportunity offers, but they will have to
give better reason for the general use of
whisky as beverage than the fact that it
will cure a rattlesnake bite before they
entirely overwhclm the prohibition SEN

NEARLY two weeks have elapsed
since the Democratic ticket was put in
the field, and the fact is undeniable
that by many Democrats it has been
received with indifference, and by some
with positive disappointment. It's most
sanguine friends cannot claim that it
has excited anything like enthusiasm
among any class OF Democrats, while a
very large element of the party in the
county confess it's weakness. The con-
test which preceded it's nomination has
resulted as such contests generally do
in indifference and apathy upon the
part of those not Immediately interested
in the personal success of particular
candidates. We therefore believe, and
the opinion is warranted by the midi
cations everywhere visible, that if the
Republicans of Cecil county will nomi-
nate such ticket as will command the
hearty support not only of Republicans,
but of every friend of an honest and
economical county government, it can
succeed certainly in electing portion
of it. There are many men within the
ranks OF the Republican party in Cecil,
who can command success for any
office for which they may be nominated.
To the prestige of their names only
need be added the always necessary
condition of complete party organiza-
ton. To secure this organization so
essential for any prospect of success we
appeal to Republicans of every shade
of opinion to use their influence in Sc
curing a full attendance at the Repub-
llcan primary meetings called for the
2oth inst. Let all Republicans attest
by their presence there their desire to
secure such reforms in our local gov
eminent, as cannot be reasonbly ex-
pected from the now dominant party.

NOTES OF TIE CONVENTION.
MARYLAND ideas OF REFORM.

In his resume of the attitude of poll
ticians to civil service reform Mr.. Cur
lis at the annual session of the National
Civil Service Reform League held this
week at Newport, X. l., says of Mary
land: "The Democratic convention
commends Tie action Of the President
in cndcavOring to secure an honest and
competent civil service. But it thinks
that the way TO secure it is to turn out
Republicans and to put in Democrats,
and the Democratic party in Maryland
offers as illustrations OF such reformed
civil service Mr.. Eugene Higgins, ap-
pOintmcnt clerk of the treasury; Mr.
Morris \. Thomas, Indian commits
sioner, and Mr.. Freeman Kasin naval
officer at the port of Baltimore, and
many others and as an Illustration of
the benefits and consequence of such a
reformed service, it offers the notorious
purity OF Maryland politics under the
leadership of Senator German. These
1ice-holders paid out of the public
treasury, and deserving their public du-
ties to manage caucuses and primaries
and to take effective charge of the polls
at elections, and this condition OF poll
tics, which is a national by-word Of cor .
ruption, are the contributions of the
Democratic party in Mary lard to civil
service REFORM

The Baltimore .SW contained this
week the first of series of foreign let
tiers written from Cork, Ireland, by Mr..
Frank A. Richardson, who has gone
abroad as a special correspondent of
that newspaper. Mr.. Richardson is an
intelligent and accurate observer OF
events, and his experience and talents
peculiarly qualify him for the mission
on which he has been sent. His COM
munications to the SIN will be without
doubt among the most valuable contri-
buttons on the situation i'll Ireland, and
the Irish question.

Iirprnting NuywuinpS.

The New York correspondent nC the
Philadelphia "Ldgtr" calls attention to
the fact that Mr.. Bowen Of "7he h,atg,-
deht,' who in 1884 50 vigorously sap
ported Mr.. Cleveland for the presidency
has hauled down his mugwump flag and
declared for John Sherman.
New YORK. August ( The TGtgea-
dcat of this week has a double loaded
editorial substantially hauling down the
Mugwump flag, under which it has all
along been sailing, and hoisted that of
John Sherman. It has been cautiously
feeling its way i'll this direction for some
time past. Mr.. Cleveland, its former
favOrite AID candidate, as against Mr..
Blaine, is not comphmented with as
much as reference even, as if he was
not, under any circumstances. to be
| taken into account. IF John Sherman
can be nominated by the Republican
party, coupled with such a name on the
ticket as that OF Senator Joseph K.
iiawley for Vice President" the editor
says, the entire party could and would
rally 20 its support. There would then
be no Mug yumps in the camp nor in the
campaign. We stand ready to work
with will for the election of such men,, -
etc, Coming on the heels of Mr.. Geo.
William Curtis declaration before the
National Civil Service Reform League at
Newport that "the Administration has
not marked the advance in civil service
reform that was anticipated" this mani
testo from the accepted religious organ
of the Mugwumps is OF peculiar signifi
canca. The Mdependcnt is q power also
GU Brooklyn Heights. where MIR. Bowen,
its editor, resides He has never ceased
to insist that it was the conversion of
that always strong Republican district
to the Democratic ticket that made Mr..
Cleveland President, ard there are said
to be letters eXtant from the latter ac-
knowledging as much.
The Democratic leaders do not dis
gulse their conviction that this detection
OF the Mugwump contingent imparts to
the political future serious aspect at
the same time it intensiiies the hope that
ways and means will be found by Mr..
Carlisle, Mr.. Randall and the rest of
them to harmOuize the party on qucs-
tionS of pressing national Importance
(such as the tariff and the reduction of
the surplus, so that they may present a
united front to the enemy when the cam
paign really begins. They say they can
get on without the Mugwumps if they
can have union and harmony among
themselves.

The story of municipal corruption

that comes from Chicago is like that
recently told of the Doodle" Aldermen
Of New York. Brides were demanded
and given as a matter of course. \
wholesale grocer admitted that he had
paid ten per cent. to the Commissioners
on his contracts until 1855, and that
then the rate was increased to thirteen
per cent, and continued at that rate
"untA the county became unable to
cash any more warrants" Another
contractor paid as much as $4,000 in
single year, and, of course, expected
in return to be allowed to make inor-
dinate profits on his contracts. I'm

quate punishment for the official thieves

Iris evident that the strike as a means
of lettering the condition of the labor

disputed that there are occasions when
it is justifiable, but it is seldom that
such is the case. In the ma ority of
